Former Member of Parliament and political analyst Vundavalli Aruna Kumar has been talking about the infamous state bifurcation of the Telugu states off late. Going by the same style, he once again spoke about the issue and gave his take on the issue one more time.
As it's been eight years since the bill to divide Andhra Pradesh and Telangana was tabled in the Parliament, Undavalli Arun Kumar held a press meet today. Addressing the media, the public speaker made sensational comments on the state bifurcation issue.
Undavalli had highlighted how Andhra Pradesh was subjected to injustice with the issue and mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke about the injustice not once but twice in the Parliament.
Mentioning that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah had spoken about the injustice done for Andhra Pradesh while addressing the house on the occasion of removing the special status for erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir and the recent Budget sessions, Undavalli Arun Kumar had urged the leaders of Andhra Pradesh to fight for the cause of discussion on the issue.
Alleging that the previous Telugu Desam Party government did not fight or focus on the special category and other issues, Undavalli Arun Kumar said that he is hoping that at least the current government reacts to the issue and urged the YCP government to look into the matter.
"There is a need for a detailed discussion on the issues like Special Status, Andhra Pradesh bifurcation, Polavaram project, and others. I want the Andhra Pradesh government to make sure that discussions on the issues take place in the Parliament," Undavalli Arun Kumar said.
Talking about his fight in the issue, Undavalli Arun Kumar said that he had knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court with an urgent hearing petition. I have filed a petition with the court and I am hoping that the Supreme Court hears the petition, he said.
Telangana was carved out of combined Andhra Pradesh by the then Central government led by Congress party in 2014. The entire episode became the talk of the town as the Congress party had reportedly closed the doors of the Parliament and the Lok Sabha TV did not air the vote-counting process citing technical issues.
